Like a xylophone hammer all over your consciousness

First, Brian at The Run of Play, one of my favourite blogs, featured Ray Hudson as the subject of his Tuesday Portrait, er, last week (hey, it's summer, gimme a break).

Second, Dish Network has dropped GolTV. Guess where I get my GolTV? Yup. Dish blame "GolTV’s decision to impose unreasonable contract terms". The Gaffer has a source who says that Dish want to lower the fee they are paying GolTV per subscriber. I'm hoping one side or the other will blink (preferably Dish, but I suspect they have the stronger bargaining position) before the European seasons start. If not, I'm in big trouble; for some reason, Mrs Hudsonland isn't going to give up her Dish.

you must switch to directv

losing this blog would be a disaster (she probably won't switch in an effort to make you stop spending time on this)

Directv or verizon fios has goltv. Is there any way to get one of those? I am sure they have the BBC as well. The upcoming La Liga campaign won't be any fun at all without the anticipation of Ray's pearls.

I am in the same boat...I am a creature of habit and Dish is testing my resolve. I am giving them till the week before the start of La Liga and if nothing is resolved I will switch....reluctantly but I must have my GolTV
